Construction of a new sewage treatment plant at God’s Lake First Nation is complete.
The $10.7 million dollar project included a new sewage treatment plant which will serve close to 1,400 people living on the reserve.
The project is part of the federal government’s First Nations Water and Wastewater Action Plan. Since 2006, the Government of Canada invested $3 billion dollars to support First Nation communities in managing their water and wastewater infrastructure.
God’s Lake First Nation Chief Gilbert George Andrews says the wastewater treatment facility will improve the quality of life for those living on the reserve.
